I posted a graph of the MAF logging earlier in the thread.

Yes. I know how to drive, thanks. None of those were clutch drops. The first gear jerks are normal takeoffs with clutch slipping.

This is getting interesting. So far we have reported this issue with the Airaid and Injen intakes? I have the AFE intake coming, and im runnging the Ecutek stage1. I hope I don't end up in this thread with issues.

I'll be very curious to see what you find with the AFE intake. I was looking at the Greddy version of it since the Injen one I got worked for crap.

So you had issues too with your tune and the Injen? Hmmm...I will let everyone know once I get it installed what issues I have if any. Im sure somewhere down the line we figure this hiccup out, otherwise im going to just go with the Perrin drop-in and call it a day.

The Injen intake gave me problems both with and without the tune. I'm very curious about the AFE intake, as well as what Perrin eventually comes out with.

Sounds like a fix is on the way. Which intake are you getting/testing?

[bpracer]

I'm very interested in this as I have an Airaid intake that I have not yet installed.

I do find the off-idle throttle response to not always be very smooth in stock form. I have had a few large oscillations when accelerating slowly from a stop.

If you need/want an Injen intake, I can try to talk to Adrian and see if he can send you one. Did he every drop you an email?

I'm in the same spot. Haven't installed airaid yet due to incorrect threads on air tube. Will install when new part gets here.

I am able to confirm a hesitation below 2000 rpm when stepping on the gas while at a 5 mph roll. I've only tried it once - but watching the tach and feeling the car - its definitely there.

For me - I would never encounter this situation 'in the wild.'. Seems academic.
The closest situation for me would be rolling up an icy driveway - or up our icy road to the blacktop. I in fact do need to be able to creep the car along at 5mph I'm both cases. In neither case do I plan on mashing the pedal.

Once airaid is installed - I will see if the condition is accentuated and / or becomes non academic.

One a side note - I feel like I'm up to date on the feedback thread and this thread and I don't believe I've heard anyone say that they've checked for vacuum leaks after the install. If I have any issues upon install - I plan to get a can of carb cleaner and spray each changed interface and see if the motor revs up.
